![]() ![]() ![]() Peter Haidu, The Subject Medieval/Modern: Text and Government in the Middle Ages (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2004), p. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. Reference will also be made to four further texts in which clothing, as a nexus of tissue and fiber, functions to a varying degree as a metaphor for human skin, oscillating between the poles of what one critic calls “ nakedness is meaning” and “ clothing is a container for meaning” (original emphasis): 3 Marie de France’s Bisclavret Gerald of Wales’s Topographia Hibernica the anonymous Lai de Melion and the anonymous Narratio de Arthuro Rege Britanniae et Rege Gorlagon lycanthropo (hereafter Arthur and Gorlagon). ![]() ![]() The object of the following analysis is to determine the precise nature of the relationship between the constituents “man,” “wolf,” and “werewolf” in a corpus of six medieval French and Latin “werewolf texts.” Because this analysis will focus on the way in which skin, hair, and fiber tie these constituent elements together, both literally and figuratively, emphasis will be placed on the two texts from this corpus that make direct reference to animal skins: Gervase of Tilbury’s Otia imperialia: Recreation for an Emperor and the anonymous Guillaume de Palerne. ![]()
